lyrics

waited 'til I saw the sun
don't know why I didn't come
Ieft you by the house of fun
don't know why I didn't come
don't know why I didn't come

when I saw the break of day
wished that I could fly away
instead of kneeling in the sand
catching tear-drops in my hand

my heart is drenched in wine
but you'll be on my mind forever

[insert trumpet here]

out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
instead I'll be a bag of bones
driving down the road alone

my heart is drenched in wine
but you'll be on my mind forever

something has to make you run
don't know why I didn't come
feel as empty as a drum
don't know why I didn't come
don't know why I didn't come
